As reported by Reuters and other outlets, Dr. Beatrice Golomb of the University of California, San Diego has found that exposure of soldiers to multiple chemicals, including pesticides and nerve-gas pills, was associated with lingering health problems in veterans of the Persian Gulf War. Effects include neuropathic pain and loss of muscle control, chronic fatigue or forgetfulness.

An Associated Press story reports that "a vast array of pharmaceuticals — including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones — have been found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans."

The drugs get into the water as people take medications and unabsorbed amounts enter the waste water system. The water treatment protocols do not remove all of the drug residue.

A new policy at Harvard makes it the first university in the United States to mandate open access to its faculty members’ research publications.

Stuart M. Shieber, a professor of computer science at Harvard who proposed the new policy, said after the vote in a news release that the decision “should be a very powerful message to the academic community that we want and should have more control over how our work is used and disseminated.”
